WHEREAS, the Trust and FEIM have entered into one or more Investment Advisory Agreements (each, an “Advisory Agreement”);

WHEREAS, the Trust and FEIM have entered into a Fee Waiver Agreement, originally dated as of December 31, 2014, which has been extended year to year since; and

1. For the period commencing as of March 1, 2018 through February 28, 2019, FEIM agrees to waive fees payable to FEIM pursuant to the applicable Advisory Agreement so as to reduce said fees from an annual rate of 0.70% of average daily net assets to an annual rate of 0.65% of average daily net assets.

3. Nothing in this Amended and Restated Agreement shall be construed as preventing FEIM from voluntarily limiting, waiving or reimbursing expenses outside the contours of this Amended and Restated Agreement; nor shall anything herein be construed as requiring that FEIM limit, waive or reimburse any expenses incurred after February 28, 2019 or otherwise outside the term of the waiver specifically contemplated hereby.

4. This Amended and Restated Agreement shall be governed by applicable federal laws, rules and regulations and the laws of the State of New York without regard to the conflicts of law provisions thereof; provided, however that nothing herein shall be construed as being inconsistent with applicable federal law. Where the effect of a requirement of applicable federal law reflected in any provision of this Amended and Restated Agreement is altered by a new or changed rule, regulation or order of the SEC, whether of special or general application, such provision shall be deemed to incorporate the effect of such rule, regulation or order.
